Not having one this year, as we won't be here over the christmas period, we are leaving the house on the 19th and won't be back until the 12th (and the monitored alarm will be on (direct dial to the police BTW) for all you dodgy types ) so doesn't make sense, as we normally put ours up the weekend before Christmas eve.
However we would have a real one, and there would be be no tinsel or any other tacky decorations, beads and tasteful baubles only, with white lights.
The tree is the only decoration we have, anything that hangs on walls, ceilling, doors, windows, on your roof, or in the front garden is frankly tacky and tastless IMO.
